Categorized as a survival and life simulation game, Dinkum was released in early access, on PC, on July 14th. The title has already conquered many players. If you start your adventure Dinkum, know that the app is not a very difficult title to browse. Nevertheless, below you can discover some tips and tricks that could help you get started on Dinkum.
Tips and tricks for getting started on Dinkum
Purchase certain licenses first
In the first hours of play, some licenses are more important than others. So, if you start your adventure on Dinkum and you have a few Permit Points, we advise you to quickly obtain the licenses listed below, if you have not already done so:
- Mining License:
- Allows you to buy a pickaxe (Pickaxe) and break rocks, in order to harvest ores.
- Logging License
- Allows you to buy an ax (Axe) and chop down trees.
- Fishing License
- Allows you to buy a Fishing Rod and catch fish.
Note that the first levels of these licenses will not cost you a lot of Permit Points. You should get them fairly quickly. They are essential, because they will allow you to collect important and necessary resources in order to carry out the first quests of Dinkumwhile allowing you to collect Dinks (in-game currency) by reselling the items collected from John.
Thereafter, we recommend that you purchase licenses to increase the size of its inventory and that of its Toolbelt.
Fish and hunt, regularly
Thanks to the licenses you have purchased beforehand, you will be able to perform several actions, including fishing, mining and cutting down trees. As said before, this will allow you to obtain materials that will be required of you to build buildings, including John’s shop, to name just this example.
In addition, some resources can be resold. The sale of items is essential to earn a maximum of Dinks. In this sense, we advise you to focus on fishing as well as animal/insect hunting (requires Hunting License or a net). On our side, it is by reselling insects and fish that we obtained the most Dinks, in the first hours of play. For example, a spider (Spider) can be sold for 1,020 Dinks and a River Bass for 2,784 Dinks.
Therefore, even if you have quests to complete, don’t hesitate to take the time to go fishing or catch insects from time to time, then go and sell them. Note that the Dinks allow you to buy items from NPCs, but also to repay the various debts of your city. In addition, it is by performing these actions that you will increase your statistics and therefore spend less energy in the future.
Always have food on you
On Dinkum, the slightest action taken by the players will consume more or less stamina. Moreover, you can see your stamina gauge under the bar representing your health, at the top left of your screen (as in the image below). Thus, during a day, your character will quickly be exhausted and will then move more slowly, until fainting if you do nothing.
Therefore, we advise you to have food in your inventory at all times. In the first hours of play, the easiest way is to collect as many fruits as possible (bananas, apples, etc.). By eating them, your character will regain some stamina. Which will give you a little more time to finish what you started or to return to the main island.
Afterwards, consider unlocking and crafting the Cooking Table to cook your food and get real meals, restoring more energy.
As a reminder, Dinkum was released in early access on PC, via the Steam platform, during the month of July 2022.
